Cape Davis (Lua error in Module:Coordinates at line 489: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).) is a rounded ice-covered cape along the north coast of Edward VIII Plateau, 17 kilometres (9 nmi) east of Magnet Bay. It was discovered on 12 January 1930 by the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson, who named it for Captain John King Davis, Director of Navigation under the Commonwealth Government and ship's captain and second in command of BANZARE.[1]
